The West Liberty Heritage Foundation is putting together a quilt of West Liberty history. They collected many items during their West Liberty 250 event on July 4th, but they are looking for some additional elements!

Members of the high school girls golf team volunteered during tournament week at the John Deere Classic, serving as scorecard runners during the Pro-Am practice round. The experience gave the golfers a behind-the-scenes look at a PGA Tour event while representing WLHS and supporting one of the Quad Cities' biggest sporting events. Shout out to head coach, James Laughlin for making this opportunity possible!

We are wishing our Comet Softball team the very best tonight! We have Comet fans all over the world; you never know where they may be cheering from!

Very trendy, West Liberty Girls Basketball! #wlcometpride #wlcomets #Softball2026
